You will find the details on the events listed below. You can find detailed ICANN 53 Conference Information at: Spanish: http://buenosaires53.icann.org/es English: http://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/ Portuguese: http://buenosaires53.icann.org/pt The events have been organized as a partnership between NPOC, the Pathfinder Initiative(for further information see the attached Pathfinder brochure), and ICANN. Please join us if you can in Buenos Aires or online or by following the web casts Yours Klaus Stoll Chair NPOC Program Committee *Event1: LAC NGO Assembly on Internet Governance* *Date:* Saturday 20th June, 10.30 am -13.10 pm *Place:* Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center, San Martin 1225, Buenos Aires 1104 Argentina. *Language of event: *Spanish with English and Portuguese translation *RSVP:*To register for this event please send an email to: rsvp(a)gkpf.org Please also RSVP if you want to follow the event via a web cast. We will send you the information how to connect as soon as they become available. The LAC NGO Assembly on Internet Governance brings together NGOs, Civil Society and other Internet governance stakeholder groups in order to raise awareness and organizational capacity on the Internet related issues they face. The goal of the meeting is to engage in strategic Internet planning and to promote organizational voices in areas of Internet policy formation and implementation relevant to their work and their mission. The NGO Assembly engages with all sectors and does not limit itself to Civil Society as today’s Internet stakeholders have to rely for their growth and development on the co-operation and partnership with a multitude of other highly diverse organizations and sectors. The NGO Assembly is designed to produce win-win policies and practice outcomes. *Event 2: "Meet ICANN" **Your Chance to meet the ICANN stakeholders, see the ICANN community at work and participate in a ICANN meeting.* *Date:* Monday, 22nd of June, 13,00 *Place: *Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center, San Martin 1225, Buenos Aires 1104 Argentina. Please meet at the Conference Registration desk 15 minutes before the event. To register for this event please send an email to: rsvp(a)gkpf.org ICANN as an organization, its role, function and work is a mystery to the waste majority of Internet users. Sometimes, one has the feeling that as more ICANN becomes important to our every day lives, the less people seem to know about it. This is a great opportunity for everybody who wants to know more about ICANN in particular and Internet Governance in general, to meet with a number of ICANN representatives and stakeholders and to experience a ICANN meeting. *Language of event: *Spanish, English and Portuguese. Introduction in Spanish with English translation. Different hosts will use their native language during the walkabout and groups can also be formed according to language preferences of visitors. *Event 3: NPOC Constituency day encounter with NGOs* *Date:* Tuesday, 23rd of June, 12.00pm-13.00pm *Place:* Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center, San Martin 1225, Buenos Aires 1104 Argentina *Language of event: *Spanish with English and Portuguese translation *RSVP:*To register for this event please send an email to: rsvp(a)gkpf.org Please also RSVP if you want to follow the event via a web cast. We will send you the information how to connect as soon as they become available. Engage with, participate in and contribute to the IG multi stakeholder decision making process. The NGO Caucus held some days before was designed to produce win-win policies and practice outcomes. This follow up meeting is designed to develop and implement strategies how to contribute the NGO caucus outcomes to the wider ICANN policy and decision making process. A further aim is also to engage participants with their respective constituencies and stakeholder groups. *For your information:* NPOC, as the Not for Profit Users Concerns Constituency within ICANN’s Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG), is a body that represents Not For Profit Users operational concerns within the ICANN Internet Governance ecosystem. Its dual roles involve (a) contributing and participating in policy making, and (b) raising awareness and engagement on the part of its stakeholder constituency. The Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation’s (GKPF) Pathfinder initiative is focused on awareness and capacity building with civil society organizations and other stakeholders beyond not-for-profits and civil society. The Pathfinder initiative deals with all sources of Internet policy and practices that impact directly on the mission, vision and work agendas of various stakeholder constituencies. Collaboration between NPOC and the Pathfinder initiative has taken place, and will occur on occasion when Pathfinder’s role is useful to assist NPOC in constituency awareness and engagement in Internet policy. The GKPF and its Pathfinder initiative pursue their own agenda of events around awareness and capacity building beyond and quite independent of any collaboration with NPOC.
